Dangerous Voltage
1.1 Cautions in Repair
Be sure to disconnect the power cable plug from the plug socket before disassembling the equipment for a repair.Internal components and circuit boards are at
main potential when the equipment is connected to the power cables. This high
voltage is extremely dangerous and may cause death or severe injury if come in
contact with it.
Do not touch the discharging refrigerant gas during the repair work.
The discharging refrigerant gas.The refrigerant gas can cause frostbite.
Release the refrigerant gas completely at a well-ventilated place first.
Otherwise, when the pipe is disconnected, refrigerant gas or refrigerating
machine oil discharges and it Can cause injury.
When the refrigerant gas leaks during work, perform ventilation. If the refrigerant
gas comes in contact with a fire, poisonous gas generates. A case of leakage of
the refrigerant and the closed room full with gas is dangerous because a shortage of oxygen occurs. Be sure to perform ventilation.
When removing the front panel or cabinet, execute short-circuit and discharge
between high voltage capacitor terminals. If discharge is not executed, an electric
shock is caused by high voltage resulting in a death or injury.
Do not turn the air-conditioner ON or OFF by plugging or unplugging the power
plug. There is risk of fire or electrical shock.
Do not use a defective or underrated circuit breaker. Use the correctly rated
breaker and fuse. Otherwise there is a risk of fire or electric shock.
Install the panel and the cover of control box securely. Otherwise there is risk of
fire or electric shock due to dust, water etc.
Indoor/outdoor wiring connections must be secured tightly and the cable should
be routed properly so that there is no force pulling the cable from the connection
terminals. Improper or loose connections can cause heat generation or fire.
Do not touch, operate, or repaire the product with wet hands. Holding the plug by
hand when taking out. Otherwise there is risk of electric shock or fire.
Do not turn on the breaker when the front panel and cabinet are removed.
Be sure to ground the air conditioner with an earthing conductor connected to
the earthing terminal.
Conduct repair works after checking that the refrigerating cycle section has
cooled down sufficiently. Otherwise, working on the unit, the hot refrigerating
cycle section can cause burns.
Do not tilt the unit while removing panels. Otherwise, the water inside the unit
can spill and wet floor.
Do not use the welder in a well-ventilated place. Using the welder in an enclosed
room can cause oxygen deficiency.
Be sure to turn off power switch before connecting or disconnecting connector,
or parts damage may be occur.
Check to see if the power cable plug is not dirty or loose. If the plug is dusty or
loose it can cause an electrical shock or fire.
Do not use a joined power cable or extension cable, or share the same power
outlet with other electrical appliances. otherwise, it can cause an electrical shock,
excessive heat generation or fire.
Do not insert hands or other objects through the air inlet or outlet while the product is operating. There are sharp and moving parts that could cause personal
injury.
Do not block the inlet or outlet of air flow. It may cause product failure
Check to see if the parts are mounted correctly and wires are connected.
Improper installation and connections can cause an electric shock or an injury.
Check whether the installation platform or frame has corroded. Corroded installation platform or frame can cause the unit to fall, resulting in injury.
Be sure to check whether the earth wire is correctly connected.
After the work has finished, be sure to do an insulation test to check whether the
resistance is 2[Mohm] or more between the charge section and the non-charge
metal section (Earth position). If the resistance value is low, a disaster such as a
leak or electric shock is caused at user’s side.
Check the drainage of the indoor unit after the repair. If drainage is faulty the
water may enter the room and wet floor.

5.6 Sump Heater Control (9, 12kBtu/h Model Only)
With low outdoor temperature, the sump heater located on base panel prevents icing that may cause drain
blockage and fan damage.
• While in heating mode operation in order to protect the evaporator pipe of the outdoor unit from freezing,
reversed to cooling cycle to defrost the evaporator pipe of the outdoor unit.
• Defrosting control is available 40 minutes later since heating cycle started and the difference of the pipe temperature of outdoor unit reaches above option 1.
• The defrosting control is available without reference to heating operation time only if the pipe temperature of
outdoor unit reaches below option 2.
1) Lowering the compressor frequency when starts the defrosting operation.
Constant speed compressor is ON after 10 seconds from the arrival time of 30 Hz (Option) frequency and is
speed up its revolution till 100 Hz (Option)
2) Every EEV have 350 pulse (Option) of opening when starts defrosting operation.
3) Reversing valve is OFF after 5 seconds from arriving the compressor operating frequency of 30 Hz and then
fans of indoor units turn OFF.(including the indoor unit with being OFF except the remote controller is being
OFF)
4) After 5 seconds from the time arriving 30 Hz, fans of outdoor unit turn OFF and Hot Gas bypass/Oil separator
valve turn ON.
NOTE: Comp.frequency and EEV pulse is different each models.
• Control algorithm of defrost completion
1) Frequency of compressor lowering to 30 Hz and maintain constant speed operation with 30 Hz for 75 seconds
and then stating operation. If the constant speed compressor is OFF, it will be receive OFF signal after 5 seconds from the arrival time of 30 Hz.
2) The EEV will open with the standard previous pulse after 5 seconds from the time of 30 Hz.
3) Reversing valve is ON after 15 seconds from the time of 30 Hz of compressor frequency.
4) Fan of outdoor unit is ON with high speed and maintain it after 5 seconds from the time of 30Hz.
5) Hot Gas bypass valve/Oil separator bypass valve make OFF after 75 seconds from the time of 30Hz.
NOTE: Comp.frequency and EEV pulse is different each models.
• Power relay turns on 1 second later after the power is supplied to the outdoor unit.
• Control sequence : power on → PTC operating → power relay on
5.7 Inverter
1. The single phase power AC is converted into DC.
2. The single phase power DC is converted into a three phase chopped DC voltage with a variable frequency.
3. When the frequency changes, the rotation speed of the compressor changes resulting in an changed refrigerant circulation. This leads to changeable amount of the heat exchange per unit.
